Mining Corporation (TSX: CUM) (the "Company" or "Copper

the Provincial Government of British
Columbia has awarded the Edward

Established 50 years ago by the B.C. Minister of Mines and

province, the Edward Prior Award is
presented annually to the mid-sized mining operation having worked
between 200,000 and 1,000,000 hours during the year, with the
lowest injury frequency rate (Loss Time Incident). Representatives
from the Copper Mountain Mine attended the B.C. Mines Safety Awards
Banquet in Victoria and accepted
the award on behalf of all team members at the Copper Mountain
Mine.
Mr. Jim O'Rourke, President and

extremely proud of our mine employees for their dedication to
safety. The mine has continued to work loss time incident free and,
as of the end of the first quarter of 2016, has achieved 966 days -
the equivalent of over 2 million hours, worked loss time incident
free. Once again, this award acknowledges the dedication and
strength of our operating team and reinforces our ongoing
commitment to safety while continuing to achieve new operational
efficiencies and production records."
